They Don't Dance Like Carmen No More
OGR-6
Called By Cory Geis
THEY DON'T DANCE LIKE CARMEN NO MORE by Jimmy Buffett
(dedicated to the late, great CARMEN MIRANDA and all of her impersonators)
OPENER: SFGS
Walkin' down new streets, music is loud
Neon sing bring in tumultuous crowds
But I'm just and old man, I'd probably get sore
'Cause they don't dance like Carmen no more
ALLEMANDE & WEAVE
She and ol' Cougie, my what a pair
Doin' the rhumba as no one else dared
Slidin' and glidin' across Hollywood floors
But they don't dance like Carmen no more
FIGURE: (HEADS/SIDES) PROMENADE GO 1/2 WAY AROUND, DOWN THE MIDDLE AND PASS THE OCEAN,
AND EXTEND THAT OLD TAG, SWING THRU AND THEN, THE BOYS YOU RUN RIGHT, BEND THE LINE,
AND DO THE RIGHT AND LEFT THRU. FLUTTERWHEEL ACROSS AND THEN SLIDE THRU,
SWING WITH YOUR CORNER AND ALL PROMENADE
Slidin' and glidin' across Hollywood floors
But they don't dance like Carmen no more
BREAK: SFGS
Well, now she had a big hat, my it was high
Had bananas and mangoes all piled to the sky
How she could balance it, I wouldn't dare
Cause they don't dance like Carmen nowhere
FOUR LADIES PROMENADE, SNAP YOUR FINGERS HIGH ABOVE
YOUR HEAD LIKE THE CASTINETS, NOW SWING AND PROMENADE
How she could balance it, I wouldn't dare
Cause they don't dance like Carmen nowhere
CLOSER: SFGS
Ah, but the lady's not with us, she died long ago
And they don't play her movies on the late midnight shows
'Cause the kids would get restless and the grown-ups would snore
Cause they don't dance like Carmen no more
ALLEMANDE & WEAVE
She and ol' Cougie, my what a pair
Doin' the rhumba as no one else dared
Slidin' and glidin' across Hollywood floors
But they don't dance like Carmen no more
TAG: SWING HER
But they don't dance like Carmen no more
